I bought this custom made recliner a couple of years ago. The chairs design, combined with the worn look of the fabric, made it appealing to my nostalgic side. It’s a chair I could picture my grandfather napping in.

For the first couple of months Mr. Kewlstuff spent a lot time and effort booby trapping the chair in an attempt to keep the dogs off of it. I’d just shake my head, knowing it was futile.

The growing season is in full swing here, so they’ve bumped the auction schedule up to 3X per week. I’m limiting myself to attending just once a week, since it’s becoming painfully obvious that I have literally no self-control when it comes to fruits and vegetables.

Week before last I came home with 1/2 bushel of cling peaches which became peach jelly, peach leather and two cobblers.

Last week it was two flats (about 16 quarts) of plums. I thought it would take a lot of plums to fill a one quart jar, but I’ve already canned six jars and still have approx eleven quarts left. Ack!

So today I’m going to start two batches of plum brandy. It takes four months to finish, which will bring us right into the holidays. Perfect timing. If it’s half as as good as the blueberry brandy that just finished, I can cross a whole bunch of names off my Christmas shopping list.

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.

If we did all the things we were capable of doing,
We would literally astound ourselves. -- Thomas Alva Edison

We are made of all those that have built and broken us.

Marriage is finding that one special person you
can annoy for the rest of your life.

There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither works.

Holding on to anger is like drinking poison and expecting the other person to die.
